Quality Assurance Manual, Revision F Page 12 of 20

7.2. CUSTOMER RELATED PROCESSES 7.2.1 Determination of Requirements Related to the Product During the quotation process, requirements specified by the customer, including delivery and postdelivery activities are defined. Requirements not stated by the customer but necessary for specified or intended use, where known, are identified by both Sales and Engineering. Engineering also identifies statutory and regulatory requirements related to the product. Any additional requirements determined by ATI are communicated at review meetings. 7.2.2 Review of Requirements Related to the Product Before committing to the customer, ATI reviews the customer s requirements related to the product to ensure all requirements can be met. These reviews include reviews of quotations before submission, and reviews of orders or change orders before acceptance. The purpose of these reviews is to determine if the products requirements are adequately defined, any requirements differing from those previously agreed to are resolved, and ATI has the ability to meet the defined requirements for both the product and delivery. Where a customer only provides a verbal order, an order confirmation is generated and sent to the customer to ensure agreement on the requirements. Sales Department processes change orders or contract amendments to ensure these items are reviewed by the appropriate departments and that work orders, sales orders and any other documents are updated and affected associates are made aware of the changes. Marketing and the Information Systems department manage the corporate web site. New web pages or changes to contents are reviewed to ensure commitments expressed in the catalogue and advertising in the website can be met. 7.2.3 Customer Communication In keeping with our commitment to customer satisfaction, ATI views effective customer communication as an essential element of customer satisfaction. Appropriate handling of communications can reduce customer dissatisfaction in situations and in many cases turn a dissatisfying scenario into a satisfying experience. The Sales Department is responsible for establishing communication methods to ensure inquiries, contracts or order handling, including amendments, and customer feedback, including customer complaints are handled expeditiously and professionally. The Sales & Marketing department has primary responsibility for developing product information and literature. Sales & Marketing are the primary customer contacts for product information. 7.3 DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT The design phase is the most important phase in the life cycle of a product. The inherent quality, effectiveness, safety and customer satisfaction of a product are established during this phase.

They shall be complete, unambiguous, and not in conflict with each other. The Design Inputs shall include functional and performance requirements, applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, information derived from previous similar designs, and other requirements essential for design and development. 7.3.3 Design and Development Output Design and development output will be provided in a form that enables verification against the design and development input. This may be in the form of technical specifications, documents, drawings, bills of material, etc. Design and development output shall be approved before release. The review shall ensure: The outputs meet the requirements for design and development Appropriate information for purchasing, production and provision of services is available Product acceptance criteria are identified or referenced The characteristics of the product that is essential for its safe and proper use are specified. 7.3.4 Design and Development Review At the appropriate stages defined in the Design and Development Plan, systematic reviews of design and development shall be performed: To evaluate the ability of the results of design and development to meet requirements To identify any problems and propose necessary actions The associate assigned ensures participants in such reviews shall include representatives of functions concerned with the design and development stages being reviewed. Records of the results of the reviews and any necessary actions shall be maintained 7.3.5 Design and Development Verification Design and development verification confirms, by objective evidence, that the specified design requirements have been met. Verification shall be performed at the stages identified in the Design and Development Plan. One or more of the following methods may be acceptable for design Verification: Performing alternate calculations Comparing a new design with a similar proven design By tests or demonstrations Reviewing the Design Stage Documents before release Records of the results of the verifications and any necessary actions shall be maintained. 7.3.6 Design and Development Validation Design and Development Validation will normally follow the successful Design and Development Verification activities. This activity will be performed according to the Design and Development Plan. The validation ensures that the resulting product is capable of meeting the requirements for the specified application or intended use, where known. Wherever practicable, validation shall be completed before the delivery or implementation of the product. Records of the results of validation and any necessary actions shall be maintained. Quality Assurance Manual, Revision F Page 14 of 20

7.3.7 Design and Development Changes An Engineering Change Notice (ECN) is used to identify and record design and development changes.

Referenced Procedures: QP1100 Design & Development 7.4 PURCHASING 7.4.1 Purchasing process The purchasing process is essential to ATI s ability to provide our customers with products that meet their requirements. ATI ensures that purchased product conforms to specified purchase requirements. ATI accomplishes this by controlling our supply chain and inspecting purchased product as required. The type and extent of control applied to the supplier and the purchased product shall be dependent upon the effect of the purchased product on subsequent product realization or the final product. It is the responsibility of the Purchasing Department and the Quality Manger to evaluate and select suppliers based on their ability to supply product in accordance with specified requirements. Engineering may be called on to assist as required. Records of the results of evaluations and any necessary actions arising from the evaluation are maintained. 7.4.2 Purchasing information ATI uses purchase orders (POs) to describe the product to be purchased, including where appropriate: Requirements for approval of product, procedures, processes and equipment Requirements for qualification of associates Quality management system requirements The Purchasing Department is responsible for ensuring the adequacy of specified purchase requirements before their communication to the supplier. 7.4.3 Verification of purchased product Purchased items and materials are verified for correctness by the Receiving Department. If additional inspection is required, it is noted on the purchase order and the item is sent to Quality Control for inspection. Should ATI or any of our customers decide to perform verification at the supplier's premises, the verification arrangements and method of product release shall be stated in the purchasing information. 7.5 PRODUCTION PROVISION 7.5.1 Control of Production Provision ATI plans and carries out production activities under controlled conditions. Controlled conditions shall include, as applicable: The availability of information that describes the characteristics of the product The availability of work instructions, as necessary The use of suitable equipment The availability and use of monitoring and measuring devices The implementation of monitoring and measurement The implementation of release, delivery and post-delivery activities Quality Assurance Manual, Revision F Page 15 of 20

Manufacturing Procedures, Travelers/Routers, and Inspection Procedures define ATI s plan for manufacturing and service. These procedures provide detailed planning of all phases including the methods and equipment to be used and workmanship criteria. This detailed planning will be documented for each product in the form of work instructions, drawings or specifications. 7.5.2 Validation of Processes for Production Provision Engineering with assistance from Manufacturing is responsible for ensuring any processes for production provision where the resulting output cannot be verified by subsequent monitoring or measurement are validated. This includes any processes where deficiencies become apparent only after the product is in use or the service has been delivered. Validation shall demonstrate the ability of these processes to achieve planned results. Validation documentation for these processes will include, as applicable: Defined criteria for review and approval of the processes Approval of equipment and qualification of associates Use of specific methods and procedures Requirements for records Revalidation 7.5.3 Identification and Traceability All associates are responsible for identifying the product, by suitable means, throughout the process from receipt of material through shipment of the final product. Product identification will be provided by using the company's part numbering system to assign unique identification for all components and internally manufactured parts. Where not otherwise obvious due to part shape, color, etc., tags, labels, and routers are used as appropriate to clearly identify products and materials throughout the manufacturing process and in storage. Associates performing monitoring and measuring activities are responsible for clearly identifying the product status with respect to monitoring and measurement requirements. To ensure that only items, assemblies or final products that have passed required tests and/or inspections proceed to the next operation or process, all products or assemblies will be appropriately labeled, tagged, stamped, or accompanied by routers or check-out sheets to properly indicate their inspection status. The inspection status shall clearly indicate pass or fail as appropriate. In products where component traceability is a requirement, the Router or Work Order will be used to record the unique identification of the traceable components used in the final product.
